classics

“a masterpiece of plotting, comparable to The Turn of The Screw and Journey to the Center of the Earth”
— Jorge Luis Borges

“Greatly admired”
— Julio Cortázar

Set on a mysterious island, Bioy’s novella is a story of suspense and exploration, as well as a wonderfully unlikely romance, in which every detail is at once crystal clear and deeply mysterious. Inspired by Bioy Casares’s fascination with the movie star Louise Brooks, The Invention of Morel has gone on to live a secret life of its own. As the model for Alain Resnais and Alain Robbe-Grillet’s Last Year at Marienbad, it also changed the history of film.
